FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20463

August 8, 2016
TIMOTHY JOST, TREASURER
DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT,
INC.
725 FIFTH AVENUE
Response Due Date
NEW YORK, NY 10022
09/12/2016
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER: C00580100

REFERENCE: JULY MONTHLY REPORT (06/01/2016 - 06/30/2016)

Dear Treasurer:

This letter is prompted by the Commission's preliminary review of the report referenced
above. This notice requests information essential to full public disclosure of your
federal election campaign finances. Failure to adequately respond by the response
date noted above could result in an audit or enforcement action . Additional
information is needed for the following 4 item(s):

1. Schedule A-P of your report discloses one or more contributions that appear
to be from limited liability corporation(s) (LLC) (see attached). 11 C.F.R.
§110.1(g) allows the receipt of contributions from LLCs providing the LLC is
treated as a partnership for tax purposes, and has not elected to be treated as a
corporation by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Both LLCs that claim
corporate status and those that publicly traded would be treated as corporations
for FECA purposes.

Please amend your report to clarify if the LLCs in question are treated as
partnerships. If any apparently prohibited contribution in question was
incompletely or incorrectly disclosed, you must amend your original report with
clarifying information.

If you have received prohibited contributions, you must make a refund. (11
CFR § 103.3(b)(1)) The refund must be made within 30 days of the treasurer
becoming aware of the illegality of the contribution. (11 CFR § 103.3(b)(2))

Please inform the Commission of your corrective action immediately and

provide a photocopy of any refund checks. Refunds must be reported on a
Schedule B-P supporting Line 28(a) of the report covering the period in which
the refund was made. (11 CFR § 104.8(d)(4))
Image# 201608080300056608

Although the Commission may take further legal action concerning the
acceptance of prohibited contributions, your prompt action to refund the
prohibited amount will be taken into consideration.

2. Schedule A-P (see attached) discloses a contribution(s) from an individual(s)

who has a mailing address outside of the United States of America. Please be
advised that 52 U.S.C. § 30121(a) (formerly 2 U.S.C. § 441e(a)) and 11 CFR §
110.20 prohibit foreign nationals from making contributions in connection with
any election for political office or in connection with any primary election,
convention, or caucus held to select candidates for any political office.

If the apparently prohibited contribution(s) in question was incompletely or

incorrectly disclosed, you should amend your original report with clarifying
information.

If your committee follows the safe harbor guidelines outlined under 11 CFR §
110.20(a)(7) for all contributions received from a foreign address to ensure that
the sources of these contributions are not foreign nationals, please provide a
detailed description of your procedures. These procedures must be used in all
cases where a contributor or donor uses a foreign passport or passport number
for identification purposes, provides a foreign address, makes a contribution or
donation by means of a check or other written instrument drawn on a foreign
bank or by wire transfer from a foreign bank, or resides abroad. A committee is
deemed to have conducted a reasonable inquiry into the contributor or donor's
nationality if you seek and obtain copies of current and valid U.S. passport
papers for U.S. citizens. No person may rely on this safe harbor if he or she has
actual knowledge that the source of the funds solicited, accepted, or received is
a foreign national.

If you have received a contribution from a foreign national, you must refund
the impermissible contribution to the donor in accordance with 11 CFR §
103.3(b). Please inform the Commission of your corrective action immediately
in writing and provide a photocopy of your check for the refund. In addition,
any refunds should be disclosed on Schedule B supporting Line 28(a) of the
report during which the transaction was made. Although the Commission may
take further legal action concerning the acceptance of a prohibited
contribution(s), prompt action on your part to refund or provide clarifying
information concerning these contributions will be taken into consideration.

3. Schedule A-P of your report discloses one or more contributions that appear
Image# 201608080300056609

DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC.

Page 3 of 5

to exceed the limits set forth in the Act (see attached). The Commission notes
your additional explanation regarding the committee's corrective action taken
for some of these contributions.

An individual or a political committee other than an authorized committee or a

qualified multi-candidate committee may not make a contribution(s) to a
candidate for federal office in excess of $2,700 per election. An authorized
committee may not make a contribution(s) to a candidate for federal office in
excess of $2,000 per election. A qualified multi-candidate committee and all
affiliated committees may not make a contribution(s) to a candidate for federal
office in excess of $5,000 per election. The term "contribution" includes any
gift, subscription, loan, advance, or deposit of money or anything of value
made by any person for the purpose of influencing any election for federal
office. (52 U.S.C. § 30116(a) and (f) (formerly 2 U.S.C. § 441a(a) and (f)); 11
CFR §§ 110.1(b), (e) and (k), and 102.13(c))

If any apparently excessive contribution in question was incompletely or

incorrectly disclosed, you must amend your original report with clarifying
information.

Please be reminded that all refunds, redesignations and reattributions must be

made within 60 days of receipt of the contribution. To date, one or more of the
apparent excessive contributions have not been refunded, redesignated, or
reattributed.

For reattributions, the funds can be retained if, within 60 days of receipt, the
excessive amount was properly reattributed to another person. An excessive
contribution is considered properly reattributed if (1) the contributors provide
the committee with written documentation, signed by each contributor,
authorizing a reattribution and indicating the amount of the contribution to be
attributed to each contributor; or (2) the committee reattributes by presumption
the excessive portion of the contribution if the contribution was made on a
written instrument from a joint account and was signed by only one of the
account holders. In this case, the treasurer must notify the contributors in
writing within 60 days of receiving the contribution that the committee intends
to reattribute the excessive portion and must give the contributor who signed
the check an opportunity to request a refund. (11 CFR § 110.1(k)(3)(ii)(B))

For redesignations, the funds can be retained if, within 60 days of receipt, the
excessive amount was properly designated for a different election. An
Image# 201608080300056610

DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC.

Page 4 of 5

excessive contribution is considered properly redesignated if (1) the committee

obtains signed written documentation from the contributor(s) authorizing the
redesignation of the contribution for another election, provided that the new
designation does not exceed the limitations on contributions made with respect
to that election; or (2) the committee redesignates by presumption the excessive
portion of the contribution for another election, provided that the new
designation does not exceed the limitations on contributions made with respect
to that election. In this case, the treasurer must notify the contributor of the
redesignation in writing within 60 days of the treasurer's receipt of the
contribution. The notification must give the contributor an opportunity to
request a refund. (11 CFR § 110.1(b)(5)(ii)(B)) A contribution can only be
redesignated to a previous election to the extent that the contribution does not
exceed the committee's net debts outstanding for that election. (11 CFR §
110.1(b)(3)(i))

If the foregoing conditions for reattributions or redesignations are not met

within 60 days of receipt, the excessive amount must be refunded. (11 CFR §
103.3(b)(1))

Please inform the Commission of your corrective action immediately in writing

and provide photocopies of any refund checks and/or letters reattributing or
redesignating the contributions in question. Refunds are reported on Line 28(a),
(b), or (c), as applicable, of the Detailed Summary Page and on a supporting
Schedule B-P of the report covering the period in which they are made.
Redesignations and reattributions are reported as memo entries on Schedule
A-P of the report covering the period in which the authorization for the
redesignation and/or reattribution is received. (11 CFR § 104.8(d)(2), (3) and
(4))

Although the Commission may take further legal action concerning the
acceptance of excessive contributions, your prompt action to refund or
redesignate and/or reattribute the excessive amount will be taken into
consideration.

4. Schedule B-P of your report discloses in-kind contributions to your

committee. Please be advised that the value of in-kind contributions must be
added to the receipts and disbursements total in order to avoid either inflating
or deflating the cash on hand amount, and itemized on the appropriate
Schedules A-P and B-P. (11 CFR § 104.13(a)) Please amend your report
to itemize the in-kind contributions from Richard P. Burke, Jim Cooper, Chris
Hupke, and Jennifer Locetta on Schedule A-P.

Please note, you will not receive an additional notice from the Commission on this
matter. Adequate responses must be received by the Commission on or before the due
date noted above to be taken into consideration in determining whether audit action will
be initiated. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Act may also result in an
enforcement action against the committee. Any response submitted by your committee
will be placed on the public record and will be considered by the Commission prior to
taking enforcement action. Requests for extensions of time in which to respond will
not be considered.

Electronic filers must file amendments (to include statements, designations and reports)
in an electronic format and must submit an amended report in its entirety, rather than
just those portions of the report that are being amended. For more information about
the report review process or specific filing information for your committee type, please
visit http://www.fec.gov/rad/. If you should have any questions regarding this matter or
wish to verify the adequacy of your response, please contact me on our toll-free number
